What would you like to see?

In melon DS I have option to load an .img file but they cannot be seen as option in the current core. Can you add that option ???

I'll look into this, though not until after the launch of version 1.0 of this core. Would you mind telling me more about your use case? Do you have an existing SD card image you'd like to use? Or do you regularly use more than one SD card image?

Yes I have an exist card that store about 50 DSi game in a row, and with melon DS real emulator I can just load game from the dsi manage titles, and copy them into the card, and then when I want to play, I can just copy them out and then play, so that very useful with DSi titles in general

This is helpful information, thank you!

Note that melonDS DS lets you skip this process; you can load a DSiWare game in RetroArch, and melonDS DS will install it on the NAND until you're done playing. However, there's no good way to migrate your save data to this simplified process; I will look into implementing one at some point.
